Hi I’m a newbie memeber ive joined because I discovered a specially made to suit blow off valve for the Holden cruze Sriv petrol turbo I purchased one off eBay about two weeks ago and it arrived yesterday and I installed it and its amazing so I have written a post about it and where to find one in hopes some one else in Australia who owns a cruze and wants to get it making that turbo sneeze blow off sound because I’ve never seen anything like it for a cruze in Australia and I was very lucky to come across it on eBay
anyway i hope my post helps some fellow turbo cruze owners in Australia

Hello fellow cruze Sriv turbo owners has anyone been looking for a bolt off bolt on blow off valve for the Holden cruze Sriv 1.4 petrol turbo well I was looking in eBay one night and I came across a forge made bolt on blow off valve for the cruze I’ve never seen anything like it in Australia so I thought I’d make this post for anyone else looking to get that turbo sneeze dose sound for there cruze it cost about $311 and it’s amazing I installed mine yesterday as it just arrived from the Uk after about 2 weeks it’s pretty loud sneeze sound all you have to type into eBay search is ‘forge blow off valve cruze’ and it should pop up to purchase I give it a 10/10 definitely worth the money and they are also very easy to install just remove the stock blow off valve and replace with the forge blow off valve take about 10-15 minutes if you really love your cruze you will froth over this blow off valve
any way thanks for reading I hope this post helps someone get there cruze making some mad sounds when boosting

crank
conrods
pistons
stock springs
stock valves
non solid lifters
oil pump

Would really love to swap this for a non turbo s chassis (s13, 180sx, s14, s15), but if I get no offers for swaps I will sell it.
Some details about the car include:

Recently comp tested the engine and it produced healthy numbers of 150, 145, 147 and 150.

my 180 idles for 30seconds to a minute and then smoke starts coming from under the turbo where my wastegate sits..
Things that i suspect that it could be is that i sanded off the flange smooth that connects to the wastegate carefully ofc to not get metal shavings down inside my manifold
Could this be metal burning off inside the dump tube that runs under my car?? and could i just idle the car to where it will all burn off eventually?
The smell is not coolant or oil but much more like a metal burning smell

Car is a 1994 180sx black top sr20det with garret 2860rs turbo running external wastegate
So i just changed my manifold gasket, turbo/manifold gasket and dump pipe gasket and now i have smoke coming from the turbo manifold area?
One thing i forgot to put back on the car is the external wastegate boost pressure hose on the pressure side of the intercooler pipe but now when it idles for 20/30 seconds it starts smoking a little around the manifold area? the car hasn't been driven but only idled.
the smoke smell is only coming from the external wastegate pipe itself, i smell inside the exhaust manifold and dump pipe and nothing smells like it's burning, one thing i did which was probably the cause of it is i used copper high temp sealant around where the wastegate bolts too as i didn't have a metal gasket on me and also where the dump pipe connects to the front pipe. the sealant is rated to 60 - 370c
I have ordered new metal gaskets for my wastegate and dump but before i bolt that bitch back on Any info will be much appreciated!

IHI C7 (TD07 equivalent)
I have an IHI C7 turbo for sale.
I ran this turbo on my SR20 200sx, it made 450rwhp on 25psi on pump 98 fuel on the PITS dyno and the car backed it up with 133mph trap speeds at Willowbank
It has a ~66mm inducer on the compressor and the back wheel measures around the same. Started spooling on my SR20 with big cams and 8.5:1 comp at around 3000rpm and full boost just after 4700rpm. There is minimal shaft movement up and down, no shaft movement "in and out" Has a few tiny chips on the inducer blades as can be seen, which is to be expected for a used turbo.
Comes with the adaptor for the rear housing to take a 3" dump pipe, has a T4 flange.
Price is 500ono, located on the north side of Brisbane.
Please phone or text 0415 952 006 as I don't frequent the forums that often. I have sold my car, but kept this turbo as I was planning to build a RB of some description, but I've lost interest so I'm letting it go.
Cheers,
Ahmed

hey guys currently i have a 3" full exhaust on my s14 turbo with a high flow cat and DEA performance oval muffler (3" inlet/outlet), currently i dont have any resonators on the exhaust system, and its too loud. What would be my best option to reduce noise? Would adding a mid muffler reduce noise a fair amount or adding a resonator?

Can you guys recommend a replacement clutch?

Doing a Sr20de to sr20det swap soon. Need a few pointers on some things i will need to buy and if there will be any problems that might occur?
First of all, would it be easier to when i pull my NA engine out should i take the gearbox with it, or should i just leave it on the chassis and just drop the sr in and bolt it up?
Second, am i going to need coils packs to be able to run this car or can i use the spark leads from the distributer?
Can i use a T3 turbo from a r33 skyline stock nissan turbo to run this her? (as a low mount) Due to that i don't have enough money for a sr turbo. And my brothers old stocky turbo is gathering dust in a box.
Will i need to get her tuned after doing this swap? Due to this will be my daily.
Last but not least, can i just run this setup without a bov to make extra zuututuuu? However i will be buying a hks bov when i get some more doe.
Atm i have on my shopping list.
DET loom, DET Ecu, intercooler (side mount) and piping. Exhaust manifold, dump pipe (welding a r33 dump to fit), turbo oil lines, obviously the SR20DET blacktop out of a 180sx non vct, and possibly the coil packs. Have i got everything? Thanks for reading really need some advice on this, since im doing this swap by myself and a mate.
